This morning the weather was SO nice! After church I spent some time in the garden pulling weeds in the carrot patch. The dirt in the carrot bed was sifted earlier in the spring, and when you sift dirt all the weed seeds come to the surface! Carrots take a long time to germinate so it gives the weed seeds free reign to take over. The weeds are THICK and I have been dying to weed the bed to see how close the seeder got the carrot seeds!
Isn't that a crazy amount of weeds!?!? Fortunately I don't mind sitting there in the sun pulling weeds. It's like therapy. I do alot of praying and talking to God in the garden while I weed. It's amazing what you can hear and learn when you take the time to be quiet, ask questions and listen.
So far there aren't as many carrots as I would like to see...I like the carrots to be about 1-2 inches apart so I sprinkled some more seeds in the bare spots. At least it wasn't a complete crop failure!
This variety is called, YAYA. Maybe the other three varieties will look better. At about 3:00 pm the winds of change blew in and the temperature dropped about 25 degrees!!! It happened so fast!
Well, the weather is back to normal I guess!
